I was surprised by Harrod's as well (I was there in April). The SA said it was a new policy. We were discussing order an item, and he said they could hold it for me until my next visit, but they cannot ship anymore. Yet, Harrod's will ship other items to me in the US, so I find it odd.
That is so strange. I will double check my store still ships. Mine was not shipping to HK for a while with covid while another one was. So not sure how these shipping rules are set and hard to keep up with changes.I was surprised by Harrod's as well (I was there in April). The SA said it was a new policy.

I am sure they will ship your SO.. you already paid for it.
Oooh! I can't wait to see what you ordered! You always have nice goodies!
This is how I wear mine, albeit without a Magic. However, I link the two chains together to make one continuous chain. That way one they can be arranged and one does not lay on top of the other.
Ugh. My favorite color combo. Blue and green. And I’m not even a 20s person. Drool…
No. That would make it just under 14 inches. On my neck it would choke me!

It's funny you mention this. I have a hard time with Frivole. I know it's Fre-voul.
I am beginning to like shopping in Vegas more. I am a very focused shopper, so I just go in and out to the brands I like. I am not a browser walking up and down the streets of NYC to check out stores. Wynn has all the brands in one location. No drama like NYC.
Plus, I think the SAs in Vegas understand non-local "tourist" purchases. My guess is tourists/non-locals are the majority of their sales.
All the SAs were super helpful and bent over backwards to get the merchandise asap. The VCA SA said he could order all three pink sapphire pieces right now and ship them to me. It was the same with Buccellati, the SA said he could have pieces sent to me the next day for fit. The SA told me they get a lot of clients who are from out of town that are wives of husbands who tell them to shop while they do big-time gambling.
Said another way, I don't sense the SAs need to cater and offer pieces for their local clients as these boutiques get so much walk-in tourist traffic.
I have not been to one at Crystal. Which one of the three VCA shops do you like?
Well, there are four VCAs in Vegas (it's not fair at all). Cannot say much about Wynn as it's new to me and with less than 15 mins there, I have to say the SA (forgot his name) was very eager to help.
Bellagio has all brands at one location too, one stop shop for everything too. VCA boutique here is pretty small (I didn't visit this time).
The one at the Forum Shop, I think they are franchise store, not owned by corporate. I bought a couple of small pieces from them a few years ago and SAs were very helpful and patient, showed me how to wear 20 motifs in 4 different ways, and Magic pendant in 3 different ways. I went in for a quick inventory check on Saturday, they definitely has lots, they even has YG 10 motif GMOP on display. SA said someone ordered but didn't like it. I tried and loved, but didn't like the MTO price.
Last but not least, is my favorite at Crystal. SA very helpful, kind, said they can order perlee clover bracelet for me with 30% deposit, and guess what, here comes the best, you may recall I bought one perlee clover in Istanbul a month ago and second guessed my decision on the size and since then, it's back in the box and my husband was helping me to sell it. Anyway, She put a small size sweet clover next to my XS size, moved it back and forth on my wrist, and said: Honey, I think you should keep it. It looks gorgeous on you. and it's the perfect size. I think the size small is too big on you, and you won't be happy. I wish I have sold this piece to you. That's why this is my favorite store and I just love the fact she didn't say you should sell it and I will order a size small for you. And I feel so relieved and get to enjoy my Perlee Clover that night and many more days and nights to come.
I hope you get to visit the boutique in Crystal someday if not this time.
Well, thanks for this lesson! I have been pronouncing Frivole wrong all this time.It's funny you mention this. I have a hard time with Frivole. I know it's Fre-voul.
However, in my mind, and even when I read the word today, my mind always says Free-vo-lee.
I must like my long vowels.
